The love that I gave you

7. teasing

*Justice*

I was still baffled by what i had witnessed, it was...weird? Gravity wasn't typically the flirty type, she was more of the I'll break your nose type. I had heard however, that she could flirt for the love of God, i always thought they were rumours, and when i had teased her the other day she seemed frozen, started, but then...just now...Domico was certainly affected.
I wasn't meeting with Gravity today...maybe we could meet up anyway...
I take out my phone
Me: hey do you wanna meet up?
Gravity: sure! Meet me at the gate.
I felt kind of excited, i went through the rest if the day and then finally left, i saw Gravity leaning against the wall with her phone in hand,
'Hey' i mutter and she looks up, she grins her lazy grin and we go.
'Where do you want to go? My home? Your home?' She asks and i smile
'Yours' i say.
I get an idea.
Should i?
No
Yes.
I threw my arm around Gravity's shoulders and she turned to me shocked, her cheeks going a little pink, i heard her intake of breath as i pulled her closer.
Cute.
We arrive at her house and there is the same silver car in the driveway, i felt her stiffen amd i frowned, were they that bad?
'Hey hon! Oh! Who's this?' Her mum says, greeting us
'I...you...we...um...what?' Gravity stutters, i feel shocked. I haven't ever seen her lose her cool, except for the other day...her mum frowns a little and Gravity shoves past her and runs upstairs.
'Um hi I'm justice, i'm a classmate' i say and her mum smiles,
'I feel so bad that i haven't been there for her, but her dad tells me that these trips are very important' she explains and we stand there awkwardly.
'I'll go check on her' i say and i follow Gravity.
I walk into her room and she is curled up on her bed with a pout of her face, i leap next to her and she turns away, i turn her back but she keeps turning away from me, we keep this up until suddenly i'm on top of her, i pinned her down and grab her chin gently and made look at me, her cheeks turn a light shade of pink and i smirk.
'What's wrong?' I whisper, remaining eye contact.
She pouts and turns away, 'i want to be mad. I do, they left me on my own for so so long. Yet now she's here i can't stop feeling so happy, i want to give mum a hug and ask her how her was and i hate it'
'Well, i would say forgive her, i spoke to your mum earlier and she really wanted to spend time with you, your dad keeps telling her that the trips are important...' I explain and Gravity scoffs,
'Oh really? What so every trip they went on since i was FIVE was it THAT important?' She asks and i sigh.
'I don't know, i just think it would be more wise to forgive, you might regret it if you don't' i answer, she contemplates my words and eventually nodds.
'Could you get off me now?' She asks and i smirk and lean in.
'Course...but what's the magic word?' I tease, she kicks my legs and i fall, in that timw she flipped us over so that she was on top of me...i didn't expect that. She smirkes back 'i don't know, what is the magic word?' She whispers and i groan.
She gets off me and drags me downstairs...that was...
'Mum? Mum! Oh...are you leaving again?' She asks and her mum turns around.

*Gravity*
Mum turns to me and opens her mouth to answer but dad cuts in.
'Yes we are, we'll be back soon' dad said without looking at me. Mum shoots him a glare.
'No hun. I'll stay as long as you want' mum says and my heart aches. I've wanted to hear those words for so long...mum hugs me.
'I'm so sorry hun, i didn't want to leave you' she whispers, i take Justice's advice
'it's okay mum, you're here now, that's what matters' i say back, mum hugs me tighter and strokes my hair. I glance up at Justice and he gives me a thumbs up and a wink, i wink back.
'Evelyn! We can't stay any longer this trip is important!' Dad scolds her and she turns to him.
'Are you serious? You've been saying that since she was 5! I want to spend time with my daughter, don't you?' Mum snaps back and holds me to her as if she's afraid she could loose me.
'You go then. I'll take another flight' mum snaps again and gives me a smile.
'Evelyn-'
'I don't want to hear it'
Mum takes my hand and smiles.
'What would you like to do?' Mum says to us both and i smile, a real smile.
'Hmmm first let's all get icecream! Then watch a movie! OH LET'S GO TO A PHOTOBOOTH! Ummm' i think for more things and mum laughs, i love mum's laugh, it's like music. God I've missed her.
We go to the garage and she uncovers her red Ferrari
'Let's go in style' mum smiles and i pull Justice in with me.
We spend the rest of the day with mum and drop Justice back home, before mum left we snapped a photo. I go to my room and pin it to my mirror and smile.
'I had a thought' Justice said,
'Do tell' i giggle.and smiles.
'Now that you're on good terms...why don't you start trying in school again? I remember when you used to be top of the class' he ginned and i nodded.
'I'll think about it...mum wouldn't really mind about that but dad...i'm waiting on his reaction' i replied with a grin.
Should i start trying again? I'll ask Astra tomorrow.
